I stood and watched, knowing as
the flames gradually died down, my reason to…exist died with it. Alice
had always been my reason. When she was taken away, revenge replaced it.
Revenge held me together, barely. But now, the revenge was gone…there really
was nothing left.

Once I’d scattered the ashes
into the ground, I wandered away, my eyes blind to direction, my feet leading
me into the unknown.

I was among the trees when my
legs finally gave way. Animals scattered as I fell to my knees, the barrier
within me breaking and sending out wave after wave of pure, agonizing emotions.

The hole Alice left was gaping and never ending, but
the space where revenge once sat seemed to be growing at a speed which rivalled
it. I could feel what was replacing it, tearing through me and filling me to
the brim. There was nothing standing in its way…the unadulterated agony was
everywhere.

I wanted it to tear me apart,
to do to me what I did to Victoria.
Please…please end this pain.

When nothing happened, I closed
my eyes.

Darkness.

It was everywhere. Suffocating
and endless. With it came solitude and isolation, leaving me here alone, a
broken man. The memories that found me did not bring peace like they had done
before. They plagued me, leaving a bitter and terrible taste in the back of my
throat.

What now? I asked. What
path do I take?

I had nothing but the memories.
The vividness of them hurt. I could still see her face and hear her voice. The
only thing missing was her touch and the warmth of her fingertips as she
explored my body.
